The Yankees, playing without Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi and Derek Jeter, scored four runs off Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez to take a 4-2 lead in the third, but Carlos Lee hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning to give the Astros a 5-4 advantage. Chris Woodward's two-run single keyed the Yankees' three-run outburst in the sixth. Hunter Pence went 2-for-3 with two doubles for the Astros, and Jose Cruz Jr. was 2-for-3 with two RBIs to raise his average to .333. Wandy Rodriguez started for the Astros and gave up six hits and four runs in 2 1/3 innings. Brian Moehler and Sammy Gervacio each threw two-thirds of an inning of scoreless ball, and Oscar Villarreal, Wesley Wright and Mike DeJean tossed one scoreless inning.
AJ25 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 i'm not so sure that mclemore is ready to start just yet. looked a little shakey, and didn't have a good stamina. but it's early on in spring training,, so we will see! but other than that.. the stros had a great offseason! ;D
